Sarah Oxford (sarahloxford) | 1260 comments Finally by J.B. Wayne

Genres: YA Romance / YA Magical Realism

Description:

Seventeen-year-old Rogue knows all suicides become Death’s reapers. How does he have the skinny on this? He offed himself in 1976, two days after driving the car that accidentally killed his girlfriend Lily. So when Rogue stops Emerson, a girl who looks exactly like Lily, from overdosing, it lands him on Death’s bad side. Not that Death necessarily has a good side.

As punishment, Death forces Rogue to spend one week inside a living body. Within this week, Rogue must gain Emerson’s trust and convince her not to kill herself, or Death will steal her soul and torture her for his own amusement.

The ticking clock bullies Rogue to push Emerson out of her comfort zone, only to discover a dark past leading her quest to die. Struggling with his own fears and memories, Rogue never expects Emerson to start falling in love with him. Or even worse, for the first time in decades, realizing he feels the same for her. Seeing the opportunity to manipulate and punish Rogue further, Death offers to let Emerson become a reaper if Rogue now encourages her to seek him.

Rogue wrestles with what to do: Save this girl’s life in a way he never could for Lily? Or encourage her to suicide, so they can be together forever as reapers?

Hi Courtney,

WOW, thank you for taking the time not only to read Finally, but to also provide such an honest and positive review. Do not be sad it ended, as the recent reviews, including yours, have encouraged me to write a sequel.

Thank you again,

J.B. Wayne

Julie | 192 comments Hi Sarah, I wanted to let you know that I never downloaded this book from Smashwords. I'm seriously behind on my reviews due to over obligating myself. So sorry! I went to download this today, but the code is no longer good. Just wanted to let you know. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!


Courtney Lynn (courtneyslynn) You are most welcome J.B. It was a fantastic book! And I hope you make a sequel, I would definitely read it. But I'm not sure how you could top that! Unless maybe a sequel dealing spinning off from one of Rogue's friends. Their story kind of thing? That would be cool. I'm curious about why the guy lost his ability to see colors. His name evades me currently. (Horrible memory.) I like the spin you put on the reapers and death.

Hi Julie,
They might be able to get you a new code if you're still interested. I could ask anyway?

☆Joycedale☆ There's going to be a sequel? So excited!


Julie | 192 comments I don't know. I'm not sure what I read that got that in my head, but it doesn't appear to be right. Everything I found looks like this is a stand alone.

I just saw that the author said in comment 27 there's going to be a sequel. It seemed like a stand alone to me too.


Nicole (nicolels) Finally (no pun intended lol), got my review posted:
